Congratulations to Floyd Landis on an unbelieveable win of this years Tour de France! This continues seven years of domination started by Lance Armstrong and going back to 1986 when Greg LeMond won the first of his three titles. Floyd Landis overcame a disintegrating ship, an incredible loss of power, energy, fuel and focus on the roads during Stage 16 and then he had the most incredible comeback we've ever seen in the Tour de Cycling. On Stage 17, just one day later. Two days later it was the time trial where Floyd Landis blew away Oscar Pereiro. You don't give a man 30 minutes lightly in the Tour de France and I think that is a lesson Floyd Landis will remember and carry with him for the rest of his career. Floyd Landis will cartry the yellow jersey forward in the great tradition of the best American Athletes in the world with Greg LeMond and Lance Armstrong. Congratulations Floyd Landis! Floyd's hip replacement surgery is on the horizon , a couple more races and then a long road to recovery and back to the top of the sport. IF Floyd Landis is Pain Free and as focused and committed as he has been through out his career, it might be a while before anyone else wins the Tour de France. Unbelieveable stories continue to unfold on the roads of France. One of the most thrilling Tours we have witnessed in a long tme. So many twists and turns, ups and downs, much like the road the riders travelled themselves. Thank you so much for joining me on these transmissions everyday for the 93rd Tour de France. God Speed, God Bless and take care. I hope I see you next year.
